When I try to initilialize the screen settings with:

def video_settings():
    pygame.init()
    pygame.display.set_caption('Soulodine v 0.2')
    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 500))
    pygame.mouse.set_visible(0)
    return screen

screen = video_settings()

The window that pops up is transparent and doesn't respond. It had ALWAYS worked beforehand for ALL my programs. And just suddenly since yesterday stopped responding with a transparent screen. It will occassionaly blink my program for a couple seconds.

I've tried rebooting. I've tried reinstalling. Anymore suggestions/advice?

Edit: I also know it is running the entire program, just not displaying it on the screen. Because I can print outputs to the Python Shell and see it looping prints, or ending the execution of the program.

Wow. :eek:

That's extremely wierd. I finally got it to work. I have to click on a taskbar option while the window is processing to get it to display. The moment I click away or on the window, it goes blank.

Frig... :mad:
